Satellite remote sensing dataset for urban climate in Bergen and Prague (TURBAN-D09)

Shared dataset contains remote sensing data necessary for a land surface temperature (LST) calculation. Layers were processed for two cities; Bergen (Norway) and Prague (Czech Republic). Original data were downloaded from the U.S. Geological Survey (https://doi.org/10.5066/P975CC9B). For a LST calculation, a land surface emissivity (LSE) algorithm was used.

Processing of LANDSAT-8 and LANDSAT-9 data

Reading metadata file for each scene (*MTL.txt)

Reprojection of scene (note: Bergen scenes have two UTM Zones; 31N and 32N)

Cloud cover raster (see folder 01_CloudCover)

Calculation Top-Of-Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance for bands 10 and 11 (TB_10 and TB_11), saving to folder 02_TOA-reflectance

Calculating of NDVI and Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC), saving to folder 03_FVC-NDVI

Calculating of LSE for both bands, same as different and mean LSE (folder 04_LSE)

Calculating of LST

Saving of metadata file (see *metadata.txt)
